Cup #2. Meh. This time I was extra generous with the tea, and brewed it for a full 5 minutes. A little more body, perhaps, but overall the taste is faint – more the suggestion of the spices than the full force. I’m getting a lot of vanilla this time. I think this is just not my tea, but I do think it’s a nice delicate blend.

Bio

I’m pretty new to the world of tea! I took up tea drinking to help control my coffee consumption, but it seems that I have just created another sort of monster!

I like strong flavors and bold teas. My favorites types include Scottish Breakfast, Earl Grey, and roasted mate. I have recently discovered a love for dessert teas, and my obsession with mint is ongoing.

I am a professional singer, and I’ve had a habit of drinking peppermint and throat coat teas leading up to any performance. I have too many cats and too many hobbies. I blog about sewing and knitting my own clothes (and, most recently, about tea!)
